Change? Oh, Please


It's been a couple of interesting weeks for sure.

I've made the decision to leave my job (Which, I could probably have held on to with a white-knuckled-death grip for as long as I could have withstood it), but I think the time has come to teeter out on my own at the edge of the nest, spread my wings, and either get lucky enough to catch an opportune updraft, or conversely wait for the ensuing *thud*. Venturing out into the wilds of self employment in a very sketchy industry all while during the world's most devastating fiscal crisis in 80 years probably isn't the smartest thing I've ever done timing-wise, but hey - at least I'm never boring.

The following is just another reason why the Internets can be so amazingly awesome:

The Playing For Change Foundation is "dedicated to connecting the world through music by providing resources (including but not limited to facilities, supplies, and educational programs) to musicians around the world". The following is from their award winning documentary about a bunch of musicians from around the globe doing Ben E. Kings "Stand By Me" all at the same time. Amazing you can do with a laptop, a boom mic, and a plane ticket.

With all that's going on right now - this put a smile on my face. (It couldn't have come at a better time either).
